Naturalistic approaches to musical semiotics and the study of causal musical signification
نویسنده
چکیده
The naturalist approach, which aims at applying methods from the natural sciences to the study of music, provides a straightforward paradigm for dealing with causal musical signification processes. What is aimed at in this paper is (i) a tentative reconstruction of the tradition underlaying causal musical signification in its relationship to semiotics, (ii) the presentation and discussion of a framework by which aspects of causal musical signification can be studied and dealt with. ∗Published in: I.

متن کاملClassification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...
متن کاملThe musical language Elements of Persian musical language: modes, rhythm and syntax
In treating the subject of musical language, a Persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the Persian music and language. Indeed Persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax). Although we will draw upon this relationship, our aim in this article is to present “music as a language,” c...
